Talking about a rare sight. After the Wings and wheels show here in belgium, the Red fouga MT40 (as seen above) of the Belgian Airforce had to be flown back to its homebase. Another Fouga came to Ursel with a pilot. This was Belgian Airforce Fouga MT35 in a silver sheme, used by the BAF during the seventies. The two fouga’s departed together and gave a demonstration of close formation flying overhead the field. It was a joy to see this! 🙂 Sadly, I did not have my camera with me, so I couldn’t take any photo’s :rolleyes: . But they still fly here and I also hope to see another display (when I don’t forget my camera) before they retire.

I can only add one thing. The Bucker Bu133C SN 051 that he has bought several months ago is still in Belgium. It was still at Kortrijk Wevelgem when I was there last saturday.

It is nice to see such a unusual paint on that twoseater. In which race did this spit compete? And was it succesfull?

Accidents are sometimes caused by little mistakes or by ‘unforgivable’ faults and neglectance. Very sad… 🙁

Thanks for those additions MK959. It’s good to see that the spit is still alive and running.

Great sham that Mr Russel wants to keep his toys to himself. Having recently visted the CWM at Hamilton I would have thought that its location would have been far more approperiat place to keep his collection.

I would like to see it more often too. But its already a big relieve that she still looks so fine. 🙂

Yes, those pics are good! Thanks for posting them! That flightline is a impressive composite shot. Well done.
